Let's keep this thread on topic!

 

Ulta points refresher (because yes, it is that complicated):

 

Spoiler

Item #1 - $53.50

Item #3 - $108.50 (and is eligible for a certain item/brand 5x multiplier)

* There is also a 5x all purchase multiplier and you are platinum so you get 1.25x

Total Spent - $162

Base Points Earned - 162

Platinum .25x Earned - 41 (162 * .25 = 40.5, and rounding up)

5x All Purchases Earned - 648 (it ends up being 4x because you don't count the base points)

5x Item/Brand Earned - 434

Total Points Earned - 1285

Spoiler

Please add product id numbers and sku numbers so people can find items on ulta.  

Just to clarify, there is an item number that Ulta lists on the website, right under the picture of the item.

 

The product id is the number given to the item in the URL.  So Ulta's site follows this formula of having the url and then the very last part of the url is "productId=xlsImpprod" followed by an 8 digit number.  If you use that "productId" number you can get to the page of any item on ulta. 

It's not a search, but the direct url to the page. 

Click on any product, and then view the url in the address bar.  It will look like this: ulta's website (not using the actual domain because BT admins don't like that) /prep-prime-fix?productId=xlsImpprod15921204  Replace the 8 digit product id of the item you want to see with the id of the product you're looking for.

 

My very unofficial Ulta point multiplier to approximate percent discount chart:

(This is a number where I use the multiplier to divide by 2000 to see how many dollars I would have to spend in order to redeem a $125 reward.  E.g. 2000 points divided by 1 point multiplier means I have to spend $2000 to get the $125 reward.  Adding how much I had to spend ($2000) + the reward ($125), and then using the reward ($125) to divide the total purchase ($2125), I get a discount of approximately 6% based on the total purchase.  Note: the total purchase is based on the concept that you are spending just enough to reach the next $125 reward and combines the reward value with how much money you had to spend to get that reward.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Some good deals at ULTA. I just don't understand why can't they offer FREE shipping to PLATINUM at least .IMG_6967.PNG

Re: Ulta GWPs

Hi Ladies, I just placed my order for the first time from ULTA for the Tarte Tape Shape couple of days back. And of course the shade did not match me. It is extremely frustrating and the main reason why I don't shop there is because I have no ULTA near me I can't swatch anything and I can't return anything in store. I just read their return/exchange policy and there is no free return label and customer has to pay for shipping. What do most people do if you would like to exchange shades and how much does it cost to exchange or I have to return and repurchase again? The free shipping threshold is also $50 which is quite high considering not having free returns. Please let me know what you ladies do. It was my first time shopping at ULTA and I don't really like their not customer friendly policies.

Re: Ulta GWPs

We mostly all have stores in our neighborhoods.  Ordering make-up online along with guessing shades like you did, well, there are risks.

 

The shipping is only like $2 for a small item. 

 

You will only have to pay that tiny shipping fee. Ulta will have to eat the entire cost since they won't be able to put the item back on the shelves.

 

In the future just try to get samples before placing your order.  I know some people have requested samples on this forum.  We would be more than happy to help those in this situation. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I finally got my Ulta GWP. A bit underwhelming because I had my hopes up for highlighter/ABH. But the too faced chocolate soleil is good, and I'll use the Lancome products even if it's hard to be excited by Lancome GWPs 😂rps20161220_234540.jpg

Re: Ulta GWPs

Wow your bag is fairly different from everyone else's, I'm surprised. It seemed like everyone was by default getting abh. I hope in the end some of the stuff works out for you 🙂 

Re: Ulta GWPs

this is the same bag I got. I really wanted the ABH gloss too. I tried the Sugar Shine Hair Scrub (this was after looking up how to use it). I don't really notice a difference, but I do like the smell!

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Alicehoopz is the jar next to the Too Faced bronzer the Matrix Sugar Shine Hair Scrub? I've heard good things about that!:D

Re: Ulta GWPs

Awww, this is why I am always hesitant to go for the mystery bags. I really would have loved to get the first bag that was posted here. I really regretted not getting this bag because of the LG highlighter and the ABH. However I think the Too Faced and the Lancome are nice enough to make this a decent bag. It seems as though overall there were no out right dud bags, which is nice. I hope you enjoy your goodies!!

Re: Ulta GWPs

Hm, just realized that Nov 29th was the last freebie Ulta sent out (Laura Geller mascara)....Hopefully its just a dry spell. 0.JPG

Re: Ulta GWPs

@ZombieMetroAnt When I was in picking up a gift the other day I mentioned that I hadn't gotten any freebie e-mails like I usually do and they gave me a couple free mascaras. 


I always got them before but haven't gotten any since my e-mails stopped and had to be reset. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Does anyone know of any perks or gift with purchases in stores like the gift bags they give out online? 🙂 I'm from Canada and can't order online from ulta but I live near the border and will be driving down to use my 20% off. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I'm not a master of ulta GWP.  If you're shopping in store, you can show them the in-store redemption coupons and see what happens.  As ZombieMA mentioned, we haven't received any freebie emails in awhile.  All the ones we do have are expired by now.  I would still roll up with the expired coupons and see what happens.  Sometimes they let you redeem them for $.01.  I tried this at a store outside of philadelphia and the item rang up as $10.00 instead of a $.01.  Needless to say I didn't take them up on that offer. 

Re: Ulta GWPs

okay thanks! I will try that and see what happens 🙂

Re: Ulta GWPs

Has anyone had a purchase severely delayed? 

 

Im at an awkward crossroads where mommy and daddy keep blaming each other, but won't give solutions. 

 

I ordered my Ulta package on 12/11 and it said it shipped 12/14 with an arrival of 12/17. Its now supposedly coming this Friday (which is REALLY BAD because I'm going to be out of town for weeks and there's nobody I know that can get my package for me. That's why I ordered 2 weeks in advance of my departure). 

 

Called ulta, they did absolutely nothing to help me or apologize, they just kept blaming ups for not handling my package appropriately and told me to call. Called ups and they said U dropped the ball and didn't deliver the package to UPS until 12/19, so it's not UPS fault...

 

what the heck do I do?!? I'm quite nervous that my package will get stolen since I'm going to be gone for a bit. And even worse is that it had my 8 piece surprise gift bag inside...I was really looking forward to that and made my purchase because of it...

Re: Ulta GWPs

@pinyo, if you don't have an account already, set up one with UPS My Choice. There's a free version and a premium ($40/year) one. Under the free membership version, go to UPS My Choice tag, and you'll see a calendar with upcoming UPS packages. You should see the Ulta one there. You can click on the Ulta one and there will be a Change Delivery option. For no cost, you can ask that delivery be changed to a UPS access point. If you don't mind paying, you can have the package delivered to another address or delay its delivery to you. If I were you, I'd use the Change Delivery to UPS access point. Then it won't come to your home at all and you can pick it up when you get home.

Re: Ulta GWPs

THank you! I had no clue this existed. Do you know how long ups access point will hold onto the package? Or if a friend can pick it up on my behalf? 

Re: Ulta GWPs

@pinyo If I call the store they will usually hold longer than 5 days. I'm not sure if someone else can pick up, it wouldn't hurt to call. I've always had to show ID to pick up.

Re: Ulta GWPs

UPS can hold it for up to 5 days and a friend can pick it up if they have a letter authorizing them to pick it up on your behalf. They should also have the tracking number on the letter too. I've used My UPS for years now, and I as well can vouch that it's super useful to know when a package will be delivered or for changing the delivery options!

Re: Ulta GWPs

Sorry I don't know how long they hold it. I just got on My Choice recently so am just learning it. I don't think a friend could pick up the package as ID is needed to pick it up. You can always pay (I think the cost is $4-8?) to have it delivered to your friend. I'd just have it go to a UPS site myself and pick it up when I got home, but that's me...

Re: Ulta GWPs

Thanks for your advice! I'm gonna look into this and hopefully it'll work out for me!
